Words cannot express my sadness. I met and worked with Mary at SAS for 12 years. During this time she became a wonderful friend and awesome co-worker. Please accept my deepest condolences and know that God loves you and can restore your spirits, give you peace, and strengthen you.

This news is hard to bear. Mary was a good friend and great co-worker, a woman you could count on. And smart as a whip. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family during this difficult time.
